Egg Curry

Egg curry is a protein-rich dish that is easy to make and an all-time favourite. It doesn’t necessarily require any side dish and taste delicious with rice, parotta, chapati or any other Indian breads.

Here I have added two methods of preparing egg gravy.

1) Egg gravy using boiled eggs

2) Egg gravy by adding eggs directly without boiling

You can try either of the above methods.
Ingredients

6 tablespoon oil

4 big onions (chopped)

3 medium-sized tomatoes (chopped)

1 teaspoon ginger or 1-inch ginger

1 teaspoon garlic or 1 pod garlic

A sprig of curry leaves

2-inch cinnamon

5 cloves

1/2 teaspoon fennel

1/4 coconut(cut into small pieces or grated)

2 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

6 eggs

1/2 teaspoon or salt to taste

Method

Preparation of the masala

Take a Kadai or a heavy thick bottomed pan or a cast-iron skillet and heat it. Add 4 tablespoons of oil and allow the oil to get heated. Then add the cinnamon, clove and fennel. Leave for 2 minutes for the flavour to get into the oil.

After about 2 minutes, add onions and saute.

Then add ginger- garlic paste and fry till the raw smell of ginger-garlic goes away.

Add tomatoes and saute further.

Then add the coconut and keep stirring.

Now add chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and keep stirring till it becomes mushy.

Switch off the gas and allow the masala to cool.

Grinding of the masalaNext, use a blender to blend the masala. First, blend the masala in a blender without adding water. Then add water and blend again. Blend the hard things like the coconut first and then blend the softer things to get a smooth paste.
Making of the egg gravyTake another kadai and heat it. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat for 2 minutes. Then add onions and curry leaves and saute till the onions become golden brown.

Now add the masala, salt and mix well. Then pour a cup of water.

Next, add the eggs. Here you can add 1) boiled eggs or2) pour the eggs in the gravy.
1)Adding of boiled eggsIn case you are adding boiled eggs, add the egg after giving a slight cut on it.
